Scarborough Beach UK's 4th Most Popular On Instagram

Scarborough Beach has 126 hashtags per square metre of sand according to research by LuxuryHotel.com.

The result was calculated by camparing the amount of hashtags 'Scarborough Beach' got, which was 158,532, along with the length of the beach, which they deemed to be around a mile in length.

Topping the list was Kynance Cove in Cornwall. It received less hashtags than Scarborough at 54,847 but has only 200m of beach, giving it a score of 272 hashtags per square metre.

Scarborough was the only north of England beach to feature in the top 10.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
